Song Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Traveling down on different roads
Trying hard to leave the load
We take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down

[Verse 2:]
Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied
Trying hard to lay it down

[Chorus:]
Lay it down brother,lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down

[Verse 3:]
Hide in me,confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me sould lay it down

[Verse 4:]
Speak to me,be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Just trying hard to lay it down

[Chorus.]

[Verse 5:(a tone higher)]
Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from ourself made well
Find a way to lay it down

[Verse 6:(a tone higher)]
Burdened by the things I've learned
Hurting because I'm too concerned
Nonetheless I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down

[Chorus bis:(a tone higher)]
Lay it down,lay it down
Wish that I could lay it down
